Chapter 55
Jiang raised his hand and used a large-scale sword move from the Twelve Cold Domain Techniques——
"Wanchuan Frost Waterfall"
The wind was cold and the sword was whistling.
An overwhelming frosty atmosphere surged.
In contrast, the swordsman felt as if his entire body was covered in ice and snow, with frost flowers floating all over the sky. In a trance, he saw the blizzard pressing towards him with a destructive force. His five senses were instantly frozen, and the world fell into eternal cold silence.
When he felt the temperature again, he found himself under the ring. He was extremely surprised. He had lost just like that...
He looked at the beautiful female cultivator who sent him to the stage with just two or three moves, and he was stunned for a long time.
Jiang Wan casually made a sword flower, put away the sword, and ended it.
Done!
I wanted to jump off the stage, but I was told that I couldn't leave even though I had won and I had to continue fighting.
There was no other way, Jiang Wan had to hold the Qingzhou Sword in his hand and continue. In the competitions on the stage, Jiang Wan was unstoppable, defeating one opponent after another. In just about an hour in the morning, all the competitions that were originally scheduled to last for the day were finished.
Completed the 'Speedrun: First Golden Core Competition' achievement.
Jiang Wan had a cold expression on her face, and the icy arena cast a chilling aura around her that kept strangers away.
Anyone who sees this scene will inevitably exclaim, "What an icy beauty."
Who would have thought that she had five spiritual roots.
There was a loud cheer from the audience.
"As expected of Junior Sister Jiang!"
"The swordsmanship of Songding Peak truly lives up to its reputation!"
"Junior Sister Jiang, you did a great job! So beautiful, so beautiful!"
Next to the arena, the alchemy practitioners who were responsible for treating the defeated skillfully took over the cultivator who had suffered minor injuries but was deeply hurt.
As a member of the medical sect, Wen Renze of Xuanyun Valley stared at the beautiful figure of Frost and Snow for a long time. After a while, he was pushed by his fellow disciple, who reminded him that it was time to treat the wounded.
"This..." Wen Renze blushed and hesitantly asked the Guiyuan Sect disciple, "This junior sister, what is your name?"
Upon seeing this, the Guiyuan Sect disciple who was questioned understood that this top disciple of Xuanyun Valley, the alchemy practitioner ranked first on the Tianjiao Ranking, fell in love at first sight with the sword practitioner junior sister who was showing off her skills on the stage.
Are you here to get information? He looked at Jiang Wan, who hadn't left yet and was being congratulated by everyone, and reminded her, "Junior Sister Jiang hasn't left yet. Why don't you go and ask her in person, Senior Brother from Xuanyun Valley?"
Then he chuckled and made way.
"Zi Shi, please take my place first. I'll be back soon." Wen Renze mustered up his courage, his ears flushed as he walked towards where the disciples of Guiyuan Sect gathered.
Only when he got closer could he hear the conversation coming from that cold voice.
"No, Senior Sister Liao Li! Shouldn't you have asked for my consent before signing me up? Aren't you afraid that I might lose my composure at the last minute?" Jiang Wan went to settle the score with Senior Sister Liao Li with a cold face, "I just came out, and Senior Brother Tu pushed me up there, and I can't get down after I got up there!"
Jiang Wan really had no interest in this immortal sect competition. She had already reached the maximum level. Wouldn't it be bullying to fight against these so-called newcomers from famous sects?
The geniuses of the Immortal Sect... If I have this much time, I might as well take Xiaobai with me to dig up some negative information about these people!
Senior Sister Liao Li, who was being blamed, said cheerfully, "But you handled it very well today! Your 'Twelve Cold Domain Secrets' have improved again! Even I, Senior Sister, am ashamed of myself! Fortunately, I registered for you. Otherwise, if you missed this Immortal Sect Competition, you would have missed your chance to become famous! You should know that Huma Pavilion will also send disciples to watch this Immortal Sect Competition, in order to record the newcomers who show their skills in the Immortal Sect Competition!"
"Haha." Jiang Wan smiled with a forced smile. She didn't want to become famous at all.
He turned around and was about to leave.
"Fairy, please stay!" Seeing this, Wen Renze stepped forward quickly and bowed solemnly. "I am Wen Renze from Xuanyun Valley. I just witnessed the fairy fighting against the other beauties. I am deeply concerned about you. May I ask for your name?"
Jiang Wan frowned, took a step back, and looked at the young man in blue clothes with a medicine bag hanging around his waist who stopped her, feeling confused.
"Wen Renze from Xuanyun Valley!" Senior Sister Liao Li exclaimed. Unlike Jiang Wan, who turned a deaf ear to the outside world, she knew Wen Renze. She immediately pulled Jiang Wan over and introduced him to her, "Junior Sister, this senior from Xuanyun Valley is the direct disciple of the unrivaled Hunyuan Medicine Lord, and the youngest Divine Transformation Medical Cultivator in the current world of immortal cultivation!!!"
The last disciple of Hunyuan Yaojun among the Three Lords and Five Demons!
"Oh." Jiang Wan nodded indifferently, so?
Senior Sister Liao Li, how could she not know the temperament of her junior sister? She immediately continued, "This is my junior sister Jiang Wanjiang, a disciple of Song Ding Peak of Guiyuan Sect. Nice to meet you, Senior Wenren. I hope you will forgive me. My junior sister has a pure heart and is not good at speaking."
"That's fine, you two don't have to call me senior. We seven sects have always been of the same blood. The two Guiyuan Sect sisters can just call me senior brother."
"Senior Brother Wenren." Liao Li's hands in her sleeves slapped Jiang Wan frantically. Forced by Senior Sister Liao Li's harassment, Jiang Wan had no choice but to shout along.
"Junior Sister Jiang." Wen Renze took out a carved jade bottle from his sleeve, "This is the Nine-Transformation Ice Mysterious Pill. I see that your sword energy is frosty and cold, Junior Sister Jiang. This pill can balance the coldness and aid your cultivation."
Wen Renze saw that Jiang Wan's sword energy was icy and mistakenly thought that she had ice spiritual roots, so he wanted to give her this elixir that was beneficial to ice spiritual roots.
"This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won't despise it, Junior Sister."
Liao Li exclaimed, "The Nine-Transformation Ice Mysterious Pill can only be refined with the Ten Thousand Years Frost Heart Jade Marrow and Aurora Sky Mysterious Dew!!!"
Both the medicinal materials and the refining techniques are extremely rare. With such a top-grade elixir, how could Liao Li not understand what this senior brother from Xuanyun Valley meant?
The other disciples who heard this couldn't help but whisper in amazement, and couldn't help but marvel at Wen Renze's generosity.
Seeing that others could see through his thoughts, Wen Renze's cheeks turned slightly red, and he smiled shyly, looking at Jiang Wan eagerly, hoping that she could accept his feelings.
Jiang Wan was about to open her mouth to refuse when Lin Xubai suddenly interrupted.
"Thank you very much to this unknown senior brother, but A Wan does not have ice spirit roots, so I can only let down your kindness."
Wen Renze looked at the young man in red clothes who appeared out of nowhere. He had an elegant and gentle temperament, and he seemed like a breeze that broke into the space between him and Jiang Wan.
"I, I'm sorry. I had a preconceived notion that you, Junior Sister, have ice spiritual roots." Wen Renze's expression condensed slightly. He had not heard it wrong just now. This person called Fellow Daoist Jiang "A Wan"?
This intimate address made Wen Renze feel a little overwhelmed, "Who is this...?"
"I'm Ah Wan's senior brother." Lin Xubai raised his hand and saluted, then turned to look at Jiang Wan and tapped the girl's forehead affectionately. "I'll pay for your punishment this time. Will this not happen again?"
"I know..." Jiang Wan replied with a puffed face and a long tone.
"Yes—" Lin Xubai took out a blue and pink hairpin from his sleeve, "This is the spiritual weapon I spent several days and nights refining for you—the Starlight Hairpin."
Wen Renze noticed that although the girl's expression did not change, after receiving the hairpin from the young man, her eyes seemed to flash with light and were full of joy.
"It can help you hold it better... I'll help you put it on."
"Yeah, thank you, Xiaobai."
The young man inserted the hairpin into the girl's hair as if no one was around. The girl accepted it happily without any resistance.
Wen Renze's eyes were dim.
Lin Xubai's eyes drooped as he pretended to be pitiful and said, "I've been working so hard non-stop, just because I'm afraid someone won't be able to wait any longer. My hairpin has satisfied someone now, but where's the purse they promised to make for me?"
Jiang Wan's eyes wandered, "Oh, I'm doing it, I'm doing it!"
"I made this hairpin myself. It's the only one of its kind."
Jiang Wan, who understood Lin Xubai's underlying meaning, immediately replied, "The purse I gave you is the only one of its kind in the world, and it belongs only to you."
Lin Xubai was satisfied, and then he suddenly noticed that Wen Renze on the side seemed to want to say something to him. He turned around as if nothing had happened, smiled warmly and asked:
"Brother, what did you want to tell me just now?"
Lin Xubai asked with a calm smile, and very naturally picked up the hair that was blown to Jiang Wan's forehead by the wind and put it behind her ear.
Wen Renze's face was filled with disappointment: "...No...Nothing...I'm sorry for disturbing you, ah no, I'm sorry, my junior brother is looking for me, goodbye..."
Wen Renze looked at this person who revealed his inseparable relationship with Jiang Wan in just a few words. He was already shocked and felt that his existence was so redundant.
Hairpins, purses... these are tokens of love between monks.
My heart is broken...
What else was there to say or ask? I could only hastily find an excuse and leave dejectedly.
Looking at Wen Renze, the dignified medical cultivator and the pride of the world who ranked first on the Tianjiao List, Lin Xubai just took the initiative to leave without any effort.
Everyone who witnessed everything was stunned:!!!
Senior Brother/Junior Brother Lin is awesome!
Some male cultivators even had starry eyes: "Junior brother, are you starting a class? We also want to learn this method of easily defeating a rival and asserting sovereignty without wasting a single soldier!"
In the evening, Jiang Wan returned to Weimingju.
Everyone she met along the way boasted about Jiang Wan's heroic deeds during the day, and many people came to ask her about Wen Renze, the great medical expert in Xuanyun Valley.
Ask her if she regrets giving up the top spot on the Tianjiao list and choosing an ordinary and unknown talisman cultivator.
"Although Senior Brother Lin is not bad either, having been able to advance from Qi Refining to Golden Core in just five years, that guy from Xuanyun Valley is the direct disciple of Hunyuan Medicine Monarch and the youngest Divine Transformation Medical Cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation!"
Bai Qingqing had left long ago because her identity was exposed. The person talking to Jiang Wan now was a fellow disciple, the fake Sanniang from Yunci Peak.
"Although Senior Brother Lin is a very good person, with a gentle temperament and a kind attitude towards others, and he has always been devoted to you..." Fake Sanniang counted on her fingers and said sadly, "But! That's Wen Renze from Xuanyun Valley! Wen Renze, who is number one on the Tianjiao Ranking!"
"I'm not bad either." Jiang Wan was confused. "And Xiaobai is also very good. I don't think Xiaobai is worse than that medical cultivator."
It’s just the transformation into a god. Xiaobai will be able to reach it sooner or later.
Jiang Wan wasn't worried about that. She was only worried about when Xiaobai would agree to join her in defecting to the Demon Realm...
"well……"
"You only have five spiritual roots, and you only defeated a few low-level cultivators. Do you think you are some extraordinary genius? It's just luck."
Zhao Yu's voice slowly floated in from outside the house.
Then, a gorgeous female cultivator in red walked in.
"I would like to advise some people that relying on hidden means to win is only temporary. It won't be long before they are exposed. By then, it will be difficult to end it."
"I don't know how Xuanyun Valley educates its disciples. That senior brother has seen a lot of good things, so when he saw this inferior item he had never seen before, he was curious for a moment."
"Some people are ignorant. They think they are admired by others and try to cling to them, but they don't realize that they are just socializing normally and don't even look down on them."
Zhao Yu said as she casually threw something in, which just happened to smash through Jiang Wan's bed. "Oh, sorry, my hand slipped."
Zhao Yu tilted her head and chuckled, looking arrogant. Even if she did it on purpose, what can you do to her?
"You--" Jiang Wan's face darkened, and he was about to step forward to teach her a lesson, but was stopped by the fake Sanniang beside him.
"People from humble backgrounds are not presentable like this." Zhao Yu sneered, "Don't you have friends all over the family? I guess you have a lot of places to go. Bye, I won't keep you here."
She made a gesture of invitation, and the fake Sanniang quickly pulled Jiang Wan away. Seeing Jiang Wan's angry but helpless look, Zhao Yu felt relieved.
After kicking the person out, close the door directly.
Several female cultivators who lived in the same courtyard looked guilty, but they still whispered to Jiang Wan to find another place to stay for the night.
"No... who does she think she is!" Jiang Wan said as he wanted to roll up his sleeves to teach Zhao Yu a lesson.
"Don't! She is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family of the Wuxiang League!" Fake Sanniang believed that Zhao Yu's family background was powerful, and advised Jiang Wan to take a step back, "Just bear with it. Now is the Immortal Sect Competition. The seven sects, two alliances, five steps and six away are now gathered in Guiyuan Sect. So many eyes are watching... Why confront Zhao Yu at this critical juncture?
She's not usually this extreme. You know, these young ladies from aristocratic families value their reputation the most. She's probably upset because you were too prominent today. It'll be fine in a few days, you know. She's a young lady, after all, and young ladies have a bad temper.
Once the recent storm has passed, she will calm down."
"I don't care whether she is happy or not." Jiang Wan rolled his eyes.
"Just consider it a favor! The Zhao family's ancestor is... Anyway, please!" Fake Sanniang begged, "Hey, you're not often at Weiming Residence anyway, why not just go directly to Senior Brother Lin? Isn't this a ready-made excuse?"
After years of getting along, the fake Sanniang still loves Jiang Wan very much. After hearing this, Jiang Wan's desire to find Zhao Yu faded.
In the end, Jiang Wan gave up on settling the score with Zhao Yu after being persuaded by the fake Sanniang and other female cultivators.
However, despite this, Jiang Wan felt that she was being targeted by Zhao Yu.
Because for the next few days, Zhao Yu continued to mock and ridicule her, and became even more aggressive towards her.
However, Jiang Wan has too many things to do every day. Not only is she busy maintaining her relationship with Xiaobai, but she is also busy comforting her elder brother, and she also has to find time to "talk about life" with that group of demon cultivators. How can she have the time to deal with Zhao Yu's provocation?
She didn't have time to cause trouble for Zhao Yu, nor did she care about Zhao Yu's increasing deliberate targeting of her, but Zhao Yu was the opposite.
Jiang Wan's behavior in recent days made her angry and a little suspicious.
A person with five spiritual roots can unleash the sword intent of ice spiritual roots.
This is really unusual.
Zhao Yu intuitively felt that there was something wrong, and she suspected that there was something wrong with Jiang Wan's identity and background.
Especially recently she learned something that made her suddenly certain about the matter.
Her suspicion had been there for a long time. Even if she had reported Jiang Wan to the headmaster privately, the result would have been that Jiang Wan was secretly arrested and executed.
For Zhao Yu, this was not satisfying at all.
Now it coincides with the final day of the Immortal Sect Competition, and the top sects and forces in the entire continent will gather here.
Everything that happens on this day will be permanently recorded and disseminated by Humoting, an organization well-known throughout the world of immortal cultivation for its intelligence.
What better time is there than to reveal Jiang Wan's true identity and ruin her reputation during the Immortal Sect Competition?
She had been suppressed by Jiang Wan for five whole years. On the last day of the Immortal Sect Competition, she was going to completely expose Jiang Wan's disgusting mask in front of the entire world of immortal cultivation!
